Zhao Qinglin shook her head. "To be frank, if your son hadn't come looking for trouble in Zhao Family Village, I wouldn't have tied him up."
"Mr. Wang, it's your choice: pay up or hand over the official position?"
Under Mr. Wang's pained gaze, Zhao Qinglin snatched the thousand-tael silver note from his hand and forced Wang Hangqi to write a confession.
There was no way to refuse to write it down. Just as Wang Changshun was about to back out, a large number of people suddenly appeared from all directions in Zhao Family Village, which had been deserted, and surrounded Wang Changshun and his son.
They were all armed with various weapons, such as large wooden sticks, large iron shovels, iron spades, and manure scoops.
Even Wang Changshun, who had seen the world, was quite frightened.
One person could easily beat the father and son into a pulp.
After the matter was resolved perfectly, Zhao Qinglin distributed 200 taels of silver notes to the village.
Zhao Jinfa held the silver notes and grinned like a fool, "Oh my, this money is so easy to make!"
If we have a few more like this, our village can purchase more clan land, and in the future, our village's children will no longer have to worry about not having money for the imperial examinations.
The elderly living alone no longer have to worry about being destitute in their old age.
Zhao Qinglin glanced at Zhao Jinfa.
"Grandpa, watch your image. You're the village head, not a hooligan."
Also, starting today, patrols will be increased, especially at the workshops. I'm worried the Wang family might retaliate.
Zhao Jinfa nodded, and from that day on, the patrol team was changed from one team to two teams, patrolling back and forth continuously to ensure that no corner was missed.
Upon returning home, Zhao Qinglin received care and attention from her mother.
Hearing that Zhao Qinglin's side was surrounded, her mother, Tian Xiaolan, planned to lead a group to attack.
But Wang Caixia stopped him.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. This is just a small plot of land in our village. It would be too humiliating to be treated like this on our own land."
Besides, with Qinglin's fighting ability, taking down seven or eight people is no problem at all.
Let her handle it herself. If she can't, we'll step in and cover for her.
The Wang family has really gone too far.
Why not let Qinglin have a good time and give that bastard a good beating to vent her anger?
These are just kids playing around, but when adults get involved, it becomes a different story.
Aren't you afraid that if you personally intervene, that shameless family will cling to you and refuse to cooperate?
As soon as Wang Caixia finished speaking, Tian Xiaolan slammed her hand on the table.
“He dares. He dares to cling to my daughter, I’ll make him understand why flowers are so red.”
Wang Caixia said no more; she had absolute confidence in her children's ability to handle things.
As the family's life gets better and better, there will definitely be more similar troubles in the future.
Seeing her younger sister-in-law's sullen face, Wang Caixia chuckled.
"Sister-in-law, believe it or not, if our Qinglin didn't swindle someone out of money, she wouldn't have brought it back."
Tian Xiaolan looked at her sister-in-law with great surprise.
"How could that be? My daughter would at most beat someone up, how could she cheat someone?"
My daughter believes in the principle that a gentleman loves money but earns it honestly; she would never do that.
Two unreliable elders made a bet: whoever lost would have to embroider a handkerchief with twin lotus blossoms on it for the other.
Therefore, when Zhao Qinglin arrived home, she was greeted not only with care and concern.
When Wang Caixia saw the 800 taels of silver notes that Zhao Qinglin displayed, she smiled, while Tian Xiaolan pouted.
"That's true, even I, as her own mother, don't understand my daughter as well as you, her aunt."
The conversation between the two left Zhao Qinglin completely bewildered.
Upon learning that her two sisters-in-law had made a bet against her, Zhao Qinglin returned to her small building speechlessly.
The money must be hidden well.
In Zhao Qinglin's room, there is a hidden compartment on the first floor, which has been treated to prevent moisture and water damage.
Zhao Qinglin stuffed the silver notes into a brown paper bag, then placed the bag into a porcelain jar and sealed it. Only then did she gently cover the stone slab with the bag.
Then we put the floorboards back on one by one.
After all that was done, you couldn't tell at all that the bottom was hollow.
Zhao Qinglin felt very pleased to have gained an extra 800 taels of silver, as she had earned it through sheer force of will.
As for relying on their superior numbers, she was well aware of it. Didn't they already give away 200 taels?
"Sigh, it seems I can't meet people so easily anymore. This is really troublesome."
This is just a small town. If I go to the capital in the future, who knows which royal relative I might run into? What if they take a fancy to my face? Should I submit or run away?
Ugh, this is so annoying.
Zhao Qinglin clearly knew what was important.
Feeling good after receiving the money, Zhao Qinglin quickly drifted off to sleep.
In her dream, she had endless wealth, was surrounded by maids, and ate countless delicacies.
Suddenly a giant beast burst in, stretched out its huge, scaly claws, and grabbed her, who was surrounded by admirers.
With a scream, Zhao Qinglin woke up from her dream; she was terrified.
After a good night's sleep, Zhao Qingyan and Huang went out to buy vegetables and charcoal, while Zhao Qingshan started cooking rice.
Zhao Qingling chopped up the few pieces of firewood in the yard.
Everyone was looking for something to do, and Xu Dongsheng mopped the floors of all the rooms.
The brick floor looked much cleaner after being mopped.
Xu Dongsheng originally planned to go shopping with Zhao Qingyan, but Zhao Qingyan refused.
Working became his way of venting his emotions.
Zhao Qingyan and Huang went out for a stroll and found the firewood market, where they bought all the firewood in the market.
I paid an extra two coins for each bundle of firewood and had it delivered to my home.
As for food, I didn't buy any.
They took everything from Zhao Qingyan's space, not for any other reason than to ensure the safety and peace of mind of the food they ate during this period.
They went to the pharmacy again and got a lot of medicine before the grandfather and grandson went home.
After arriving home, while unloading the food, little Zhao Qingbei looked at the large fish with great surprise.
"Sis, do all big fish look the same? Every time I see you buy fish, they're always this big."
It looks like it was measured with a ruler.
Zhao Qingyan flicked her younger brother's forehead.
"You're just a kid, why make such a fuss? If there's food to eat, then eat it. Isn't a big fish good?"
Large fish have fewer bones, so it's safe to eat them.
That little catfish, let alone eating it, one bite and your mouth is full of tiny bristles. Even if you dared to eat it, I wouldn't.
While saying that, he was actually thinking about whether he should bring back something different next time.
Even a little guy can tell the difference, let alone human sperm.
Especially Xu Dongsheng, he's the kind of guy who's all talk and no action.
The boy could vaguely guess that Zhao Qingyan had a secret, but guessing it was different from being completely discovered.
Even if she plans to confront that kid in the future, Zhao Qingyan intends to keep her identity hidden for the time being.
"Hey, next time I won't bring you big fish to eat, or I won't give you any fish at all, let's see how you can tell then."
